Ode to Eve

Imagine a mother
giving birth
to a child
who doesn't know
she's giving birth
to a child
She thinks she's dying
but she's bringing life
to a world
and prolonging life in that world.

I am a loser to consumerism

Again.

I have been visiting Astrid Leather website for almost two months now. And been wanting to buy this card holder since August. And because I am very suspicious about online purchase, I opted to just look for a similar design in different malls and stalls in Metro Manila, Davao and Cebu. But all the card holders I see fell short of the beauty of this Magnificent Thing. Even Fino.

I told myself that I will only buy this MT if my application to a new credit card will be approved. I don't need a new credit card but because there is a bank very near to my residence, I convinced my rationally irrational self that it will be more convenient to settle bills from that bank. So I applied.

And while in the process of waiting for the credit card approval, I asked my roommate to purchase the MT for myself. And roommate did without even asking why.

I am now waiting for the credit card application approval and the delivery of MT.

Patuloy

Hinawakan ko ang iyong kamay 

ng mahigpit. 

At binitiwan ang mga salita 

na "Huwag mo sana ulit akong iiwan." 

Baka kasi sa pang-anim na pagkakataon, 

di ko na kayanin.
